On Saturday morning on the 14th of January the businessman from Nevada decided to go  to a trip with his wife from Las Vegas to Mojave Desert.

Ryan left the keys from the car at home as as Tesla is possible to get through the application on the smartphone.  The married couple couldn't re-start the electric car due to the lack of an Internet signal after a 10-kilometer journey and a small stop on their way. People stayed in the car in the midst of the desert.

As a result, Ryan's wife had to walk about 3 kilometers to catch a signal of cellular network  and ask her friends from Las Vegas to bring them keys  from the electric vehicle.
